Negative Balance Protection

Broker feature ensuring traders cannot lose more than their account balance during extreme market movements.

Negative balance protection ensures a trader cannot lose more than their account balance, limiting downside risk in leveraged trading.

In oil derivatives or CFD markets, sudden price spikes could otherwise lead to negative equity. This protection prevents forced repayment beyond initial investment.
